Page 37 - Rules of Divorce in Islam

On page 37, Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ provides guidance on divorce and the treatment of divorced women. After fulfilling the prescribed waiting period, divorced women can either be taken back on reasonable terms or set free but taking them back to harm is a wrongdoing against oneself.

Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ emphasizes not to treat His laws lightly and reminds believers of the favors of Islam and the guidance in the Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah.

If divorced women, having completed their waiting period, wish to marry their former husbands again, it is permissible if both parties agree on reasonable terms. This is an admonition for those who believe in Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ and the Last Day, and it is considered more virtuous and purer.

Regarding childcare, mothers are instructed to breastfeed their children for two whole years if they wish to complete the term. The father is responsible for bearing the cost of the mother's food and clothing on a reasonable basis during this period. The financial burden should be within the capacity of each individual, and neither mother nor father should be treated unfairly because of their child.

In case of mutual agreement between parents to wean the child, there is no sin, and if foster suckling mothers are chosen, the agreed-upon compensation must be paid on a reasonable basis. The reminder is to fear Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ, knowing that He observes all actions.
